It is not a Kolkatta special Kati roll. It’s not Arabian shawarma. Then what is it?
It’s a fusion chicken roll made with the fiery peri-peri kabab wrapped in a tortilla with some basic sauces. There are so many variants of rolls available and apparently all fall under the category of Kati roll or Shawarma.
This savory roll was so filling and just comforting and turned out to be a super hit in our home. The peri-peri kabab was so unique in taste and so went good with bread even without any sauces. This is definitely a worth experimenting recipe.
How is peri-peri kabab made?
Peri-peri masala is an Indian spice mix, typically consisting of pepper, chilli, coriander, cumin, salt and some herbs. Basically, it is known for its balanced flavour. When the chicken is marinated with this aromatic, flavourful spice mix, it becomes exquisite and makes each bite enjoyable.
Variation
- Mindfully opting home made chapathi/Roti over the store-brought wraps, makes the meal not only extra tastier, but also more fresher and healthier.
- Hung curd is the most versatile and best ever spread option that tastes equally good as the mayo. Why not? Truly and amazingly better than mayo.
